So now it only matters in finance? No one lost anything here. It's ridiculous to expect a payout due to an error like this. You wouldn't get one at a casino if e.g. a slot machine malfunctioned. What if the payout was $500M? Should they have to pay that as well?
- maxerickson 8y agoSure, I'm entirely comfortable making life difficult for bookies.
- EpicEng 8y agoAnd why is that? The rest of society has deemed it a ligitimate business. So you simply don't like gambling and that's why you want them to eat it? Not a very strong argument.
- maxerickson 8y agoIt's more that I think the activity of promoting gambling is one of getting your customers to eat it (It's advertised as a game of stakes, it's really just skimming transaction fees), so I don't mind it if what goes around comes around once in a while.
- emodendroket 8y agoSociety did no such thing; they weaseled their way into a legal grey zone and made themselves big before society had much say in it.
- link_108 8y agoActually you won't get a payout if the slot machine malfunctioned: https://vegasclick.com/games/slots/malfunctions https://vegasclick.com/games/slots/malfunctions
- EpicEng 8y agothanks, that was a typo
- cannonedhamster 8y agoThe difference being that the slot machine owners are not the slot machine developers and it is not within their power to do anything to prevent the errors.
